Catholic 101

Why do we do this thing we call "Catholic"? Why do we have to practice the faith, follow the commandments, the Gospels, receive the sacraments, and go to mass? What's the reason for it all? We don't just do it because "God said so!", we do it because we are living an epic, and are part of a story that started eons ago in Heaven and continues to play out here and now. That story starts with war in Heaven, leads to the fall of mankind…and culminates to our eventual glory.
